SWR17: 155
GWR17: 153

Number of perfect days in challenge: 5 (Had three perfect days before the start the challenge.)

To make it a perfect day for me:
1. Exercise. Got to get at least 20 minutes
2. Log my food. Doesn't have to be <daily MFP calorie goal. But I need to log it!
3. No Sugary Foods
4. No Alcohol
5. No Boxed Cereal.

+ 9/20: 155- Exercise is going to be the hardest part for today. I slept in this morning; my lunch was filled with a work project and this evening will probably be filled with kids activities. Got in a workout last night after work. So it was a "perfect day" after all.

+ 9/21: 153.5- Missed the morning workout again. Need to figure out a better way to be successful. Wine night or exercise and 5 days of perfection? Family and a bit of exercise. Rode the bike to the parade with the boy. Not a sweaty workout. But I got out and moved. I'm calling it a success.

- 9/22: 154.5- Dry roasted peanuts and walnuts last night before bed. I'm sure the sodium is the culprit for the additional pound. That and I need to... nevermind. Worked out this morning on the elliptical. Planning on a lunchtime walk. Ate some of DDs turtle sundae.

- 9/23: (Don't remember)- Food pretty good. But I did have a brownie. Still under calorie goals. Shaun T for workout.

- 9/24: (Don't remember) Sweaty workout on the elliptical, followed by hours in the garden. Food choices good. I did eat a couple of brownies, but my calories were still below MFP goals. Made thai lettuce wraps, maki rolls, and miso soup. LOTS of sodium.

9/25:158- Yeppers. Worked my *kitten* off this weekend, kept under my calorie goals, and I am up 3.5 pounds from last week. GRRRR. Pretty sure it is water retention from the high sodium meal I made last night. But still! Hard day yesterday. Chose to sleep this morning. Lunchtime walk is in the future.

9/20 - 133.2
9/21 - 132.8 I ran 5 miles yesterday and logged everything (finally). Off to the gym I go. Back in the right direction. woohoo!!!
9/22 - 131.8 It really is all about what you eat and logging. Logged everything yesterday (even if it was all at the end of the day). Whenever I fall off the logging wagon, I pay the price on the scale. But really it's a chicken or egg type of story - because when I am not eating right, I don't want to log. The exercise part is the easy part for me. Happy Friday everyone!!!
9/23 - 131 Back in the swing of things. Already finished with the gym and mindful eating. Happy Saturday everyone!
9/24 - didn't weigh right this morning. Weighed w/clothes on and then naked post run. But I figure was between 131-132. Ate Chinese tonight, probably will retain some water. But got my run in. We will see...
9/25 - 131.8 I was hoping it would have been better. Maybe tomorrow. Gym done today and logging

My goals for this round is to continue to work on my hydration, especially on the weekend, and purposefully spend time stretching at least 8 of 10 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20--225.5 Natural fluctuation. I also think I may be coming down with a cold.
9/21--225.5 Stretched yesterday
9/22--225.3 Back to the start of the round. I would love to break into the 224's by the end of this round, but I don't like to make weight goals. Weightlifted and stretched yesterday.
9/23--225.7 Was over about 400 cals yesterday, so not surprised about the temporary water gain. Stretched yesterday and went out for a hike today.
9/24--226.8 Total water retention. So sore from my hike yesterday and I did not drink enough water. Stretched yesterday.
9/25--225.9 The water weight is starting to go. The one thing that I realized this weekend is that I did not drink a lot of water and last night I started snacking even though I wasn't hungry. I caught myself from going over my calories too much, but it made me realize again that what we think may be hunger may really just be thirst.

9/20 - 151.8
I had bounced up a little toward the end of R16, so this is actually back down a pound. :-)

9/21 - 151.8
Hit most of my goals - a little off on patience. ;-)

9/22 - 151.9
I'm hitting my goals, so I know it's water. At least it doesn't look so bad with the moving average!

9/23 - 152.1
Oopsie. My hubby is out of town and I went on a Triscuit binge last night, so I'm up 2 pounds this morning. I know this is not fat, but still...I haven't done that in a very long time - not sure what got into me. Anyway, off to the store for lean protein and veggies. I'm also cutting my calories to 1680, since I've been pretty much maintaining at 1800-1900. Here's to a better day!

9/24 - 152.3
Still paying for my Fri night binge, but I was back on track yesterday and will stay there today. Tomorrow is another day!

9/25 - 152.3
Sigh. I'm eating at calorie/macro goals but didn't get my walk yesterday. Still, I thought I'd drop a little. Off for a long walk now. I keep reminding myself that there's always a time lag, and the numbers will improve.

Round 17: my goal for this round is to be in the 150s.
9/20: 162.8 I feel discouraged seeing this number but I will keep on pushing.
9/21: 162.6. No much different
9/22: 161.1. Slow but good.
9/23: 160.5. Well I will be a happy girl if I continue losing o.something lbs everyday. My long term goal is to up my water intake.
9/24: 161. Hmmm hanging in there
9/25: 163.4. Well this is one of those time I see the scale go up and I can't even complain cos I know what caused it. Way too much carbs( rice) over the weekend and less water. Let's see if I can drop this 3 pounds in the next 4 days.

9/25: Still sick from the snack mistake, and I've realized that it's made even worse because I forgot one of my weekly medications. Missing school because I don't want to be away from the bathroom. Had another off day with food yesterday - this particular issue always makes me absurdly hungry. I was so looking forward to getting back to school and away from temptations, too...at least I've been managing to stay below maintenance, and yesterday I actually did stay within my target, but still. I can't wait until my body calms the hell down.

9/20 - 214.2 lb
9/21 - 213.6
9/22 - 211.4
9/23 - 213.2
9/24 - 213.2
9/25 - 214.6 - Ah, there's the uptick I knew was coming. At least it should come back down pretty soon. 213.2 - The mistake snack finally, uh, left my system almost immediately *after* my initial weigh-in. Finally, the recovery process really starts.

R14 - 218.8
R15 - 216.2
R16 - 218.2 - vacation

R17 goal - 216

Home from vacation - will jump in today. Gained some weight but not as bad as it could have been!

9/23 - 219.2
9/25 - 221.6 - grrr - these pounds should come off pretty fast. The past two days have been crazy eating days. Something about being home from vacation and making bad choices! Plus yesterday, we spent 3 hrs each way driving to pick up my dog from my nephew - ate fast food on the way there, ate fast food on the way home.

ROUND 17


Joined MFP at 207 lbs

SW when I joined this challenge: 193.8
R15 start 192.7 End 189.6
R16 start 189.4 End 187.8

End Goal for this round: 185
UWG: 120-130

Goals for a perfect day (adapted from jlemoore's idea):
1. Exercise (at least 30mins)
2. Log ALL my intake (would be good if it stays less than MFP's calories goal, but if not, then not more than 200cal excess)
3. Hit carb and protein goals


9/20 - 187.4 -- so another round begins. I made peace with myself last round regarding those pasta that I mindlessly ate and now I'm back to my usual eating. Setting alarm for water as well since I've noticed that I only consume around 1L when work is hectic.

9/21 - 186.9 -- wonderful loss; slowly but steady. Feeling good also since I was able to drink more water. Also added plain green tea in my drinks list, it tastes weird when unsweetened but I think this is better. I wanna tame my tongue and stop craving for sweets. Stayed within calorie goal but over carb.

9/22 - 186.7 -- good record considering what I did yesterday. Well, I was able to exercise, however I ate too many carbs and too little protein. I ate way more than my caloric goal... like I overate bigtime. The culprit -- BREAD! Before I became mindful of what I ate, I have this habit of trying any 'new' food that I see. And here in my place, there's a lot of varieties of bread and pastries that I never encountered before. To cut the story short, my colleague brought with her a freshly baked stuffed bread with stuffing I've never seen before, soem sort of green powder mixed with feta cheese, I think. And it smelled so good and tasted good, the supposed one bite became 4 pieces of it, one piece the size of half my fist. Then I snapped out of it, asked the ingredients she used, and felt like crying. Need to behave big time!

9/23 - 185.6 -- Looked like behaving well yesterday did the trick, apparently. Was able to accomplish my exercise goal again and finally hit my protein goal. A friend of mine just came back from vacation and his greeting when he finally saw me was, "What happened to you? Aren't you eating? You lost weight!!!" and I was like thinking, "really? I don't even see the difference in the mirror..." but well, I was really happy.

9/24 - 185.4 -- yesterday was a repeat of 09/20: too many carbs and too little protein. Though I'm glad that it didn't affect my weight, I know that I should correct this or this will become a big problem. Any suggestion on how to avoid overeating carbs?

9/25 - 184.9 -- woohoo!!! still doing good! Exercise done! Complete log done! I finally lowered by carbs intake (though still over) and hit my protein goal! Hopefully, I can keep this rate and finally be able to consistently hit my macros goals.

9/21 156 UGH! Pizza for dinner at community bingo last night. I only ate the toppings off one slice of veggie and had taken a healthy salad from home. One SF adult beverage but overall maybe not enough fat or perhaps this is the salt.
9/22 156. I ate dinner too late! Almost 9 PM!! This afternoon I go to my retreat and will be without a scale until I get home late Sunday. I will have a lot of catching up to do! Next weigh in on Monday! AARRGGGHHH
9/23 RETREAT
9/24 RETREAT Going home this afternoon. This has been a fun, productive weekend. We'll see what the scale reveals tomorrow, I have had some junk but nothing like last year.
9/25 157.5 Up but not surprised. Had a great time at our mini-retreat. Over the weekend, the only things o should not have eaten were a half piece of Trash Treat and 3 hands full of popcorn. And unmeasured alcohol. Learned to make homemade noodles, almond flour spaetzel and Buckeyes. Had 3 dozen Buckeyes to bring home which my husband will take care of. I was not even tempted. My biggest problem was not drinking enough water. I think I will not have a problem recouping. I'm so glad to have spent time with these wonderful women but am equally glad to be back to this group.

Starting weight 175.6
I'm heading the wrong direction and very frustrated. Had a long discussion with myself on what I've been doing incorrectly. I need to move some every day. Drink less alcohol all the way around. I tend to lose focus when my sons health (Crohn's disease) is not going well. Seek comfort in the wrong things.

Round 16 SW: 175 - EW: 174.5

9/20: 173.5
Hm, didn't have enough water yesterday, I might be a bit dehydrated. Actually ate under calories Tue but I went out for a cocktail and dim sum.
9/21: 174
Plenty of water today, no added sugar, declined free cookies, got some exercise, stayed under calories. Potluck tomorrow, we shall see.
9/22: 174
Had a bit more to eat than I should have at my work potluck, but nothing with added sugar and it fit in my calories if I skip my planned dinner, not ideal. Light on water, I'll try to have more before bed.
9/23: 173.5
I hope the scale's not just toying with me again and this loss stays around. Got some exercise today, no added sugars, plenty of water, actually ate a little low, even with a piece of leftover pizza. Maybe a bit too much salt.
9/24: 173.5
No added sugars, good on water, good on calories but I left too many calories til the end of the day so I am overfull after a big dinner. Only incidental exercise. Today's my "Friday" and for the last five days I've resisted all kinds of desserts in the work lunch room, they seemed to multiply this week.

9/25: 175.5. What? Sigh. FML
Well, today I took a hike, ate under my calories. I had some fruit in a restaurant that I could tell were canned in syrup so I did have added sugar. Need to drink more water before the end of the day.
